      ​@@MrTrdsmi I'm thinking that maybe the thinner air might affect its capacity of flying; in addition, being a much higher mountain the chances of crushing on the side of the mountain must be high, and also, it would be nearly impossible to find a day with such great weather that would allow this from the summit as it is usually quite windy. However, i am definitely no expert and It would be nice if somebody else replies.

      @ov104  3 года назад +2

      Hi! The yellow leash is already a part of the ice axe (grivel), but I simply connected it with a piece of rope attached to the harness by a simple connector, in order not to loose it, or to secure myself when necessary. If yours does not have a leash, you can make it from any 6-8mm piece of rope, and fix it in the hole typically between the head and the shaft.

      @@RuudvanNistelrooy2006 I think the most logical step towards flying from high mountains would be completing a basic paragliding course. Once you have the basic skills to take off and land safely, you can get a light gear, and start building up your own knowledge and experience by joining expeditions together with other more experienced pilots. It is better not to be in a big hurry, and master the experience step by step. Being able to judge the weather conditions and forecasts is another big science absolutely essential for the pilots. I wish you motivation and success, and i'm quite sure you will love it! ;)

      It's a good hike 20km 3500m of elevation (obv it depands where you start exactly you can go by train to 2400m making it "only" 10km / 2400m of elevation to the top)

      @oliversmiddy840 Год назад

      @@FlyingSalsero Most climbers take the Bellevue telecabine from Les Houches and then get the train to Nid d'Aigle, which is about 2,370m. You can however just schlep up from Les Houches (c.1000m) itself all the way. I did this a couple of weeks ago and had the whole mountain to myself until I came over the Col des Rognes and joined the main track up to Tete Rousse. Doing Les Houches to Mont Blanc in a oner is a serious undertaking though, especially with a paraglider on your back. Fair play to the OP, that is a big day out!

      It is the most popular period for climbing, and unfortunately also incidents happen, and paragliders flying in the area disturb or may even inhibit the rescue operations by helicopter.
